IMPROVEMENT IN RAZOR-STROP CASES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,082, dated July 16, 1878; application filed July 1, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED V. BROKHAHNE, of New York city, State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Razor-Strop Cases, of which the t'oL lowing is a specification:

My invention may be briefly stated to consist in a razor-strep case provided on the extremity of its closed end with a receptacle or chamber for the strop surfacing-paste, which is formed integral with the strop-case, as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings annexed, Figure 1 presents a perspective view of my improved razor-strop case, and Fig. 2 a tragmentary view of a modified form thereof.

In the views, a indicates the strep-ease, which is usually formed in the shape of along square box or sheath, and preferably of paper or paperboard; but the shape may be varied and other materials used in its construction, as will be readily understood. One end of the case a is fully open to admit the insertion of the strop, as indicated at kin Fig. 1, while the opposite end is closed. The closed end of the case is provided with a small chamber or receptacle, b, which is formed directly on the extremity of the closed end of the case, and integral with the case, as indicated, forming a permanent fixed part thereof. This chamber b forms a receptacle for the paste or composition used for restoring the stropping-surface of the strop, and, being thus contained directly in the strep-case itself, is always kept at hand and readily accessible when required, entirely obviating the possibility of its being mislaid, which often occurs with an annoying result when the paste is kept separated from the strop-case.

The paste-receptacle b may be formed in the shape of a drawer-box, as indicated in Fig. 1, or in the shape of a slip-cover box, as shown in Fig. 2, and the sides of the receptacle are formed in line or continuous with the sides of the case, as shown, the paste being usually contained in a tin box, which is inserted in the receptacle I), as indicated in Fig. 1.

What I claim as my invention is- A razor-strop case formed with a receptacle, I), for the stropping-paste, arranged directly on the extremity of its closed end, and integral with the strop-case, substantially as herein shown and described.

ALFRED V. BROKHAI'INE.
